You see problems, I see awesomeness we don't know yet.

That's not blind faith - it's firmly rooted in proven track records.

Unless you count their last 3 games… the ones that didn't really do anything to advance their genre? Maybe It's just the fact that they were tired of Halo (hence your 'first in the series' qualifier), but their track record has only really been what you describe from 1993-2004.

It would be nice to enter a new Bungie golden age again with Destiny!

I don't think the Marathon or Myth sequels advanced the genre much more than the Halo sequels. I think you're focusing on this so you could slag on the last three Halos, as is your want.

I'd say that there are aspects of all three that are better than the ones that came before. Perhaps they didn't shake up the ground rules like the first in the series games, but to me the last two especially were more mature than their predecessors.
